It should provide ownership with greater stability by eliminating any massive payments due in the near future (Adam Rubin).

Fans should accept the idea that the Wilpons and Katz are not going to sell the team, and any news that helps ownership maintain liquidity and cash flow is good news.

You would be correct if Selig did not set the precedent for stepping in on the McCourt situation. Since the precedent has been set, and many of us see the current Mets situation as more laughable than the Dodgers situation, than, we do have reason to continue to hope that they are forced to sell.

And in case you are asking in what way our situation is worse than the Dodgers:
-Our payroll is already lower than theirs ever dropped
-Our payroll for next year is potentially way lower than theirs ever dropped
-Both had to take loans to meet payroll
-Both had negative off the field situations that began to have direct connection to their running of the team
-Baseball stepped in because the Dodgers represent a large and critical market. We play in an even larger and more critical market

What is it that you do not see? Sometimes I wonder if you are really just busting balls and have been a master at taking this joke to proportions that no other human being would. If that is the case- well played sir
